People use the "like" and "agree" flags in abundance, but it's kinda obvious there are people that find some posts disagreeable, spam, troll and abusive. 

Damn it people, use these flags - they are there to communicate how you feel.  (side note - sorry @Canadians there is no "apology" flag)  And if you use them, rather than say something regretful, how much more of a wonderful environment we could have! 

That is all.  Friday in 12 minutes CST.  Carry on.

    @nolaegghead   As a Canadian, those flags you speak of cause me stress.  I'm always paranoid that I've dumb thumbed someone

    @blasting   suspect any outlier responses to you to be from that .  Makes the forum much more exciting.  Hey, you're an immigrant, not a Canadian, right?

    You had it right.  You said disagreeable. I'm the oddball who wants a dislike button.  For example, if someone posts a head cheese thread (in the style of Dixie?), I want a dislike button that I can preferably hit multiple times.

    @nolaegghead I've always thought that those flags are akin to using a buffalo call from a buffalo blind if you catch my drift.

    I've been more of a lurker than a poster around here over the last year or so, and it seems that the mods have decided to put their big boy pants on much more now adays than they did in the past. 

    As someone who agrees with much of what you're posting in the threads you're referencing; I've always avoided hitting the troll button on some of the posts that come across as harsh in disagreement unless they're blatantly racist/offensive. 

    I always figured that that we just seem to figure things out between ourselves (or just kept drinking until we weren't pissed off any more). I never really felt the need to use the flags.... It always felt to me like the kid in elementary school that ran to the teacher because you called him a douche bag. Am I wrong on this?

    Ironic that the guy correcting grammar, is again the one who has grammatical errors.  I believe you spelled 'fashion' incorrectly. 

    Waiting to hear what Nolaegghead has to say about this, as he reamed me for correcting grammar.... Staying tuned for this one :)

    He does it on purpose to imply I am stupid and he is smart. Man with small penis and many insecurities. There can be no doubt. @SGH never engages in such tripe.

    I try real hard to stay out of controversial topics. I have found that it usually ends with a buffalo attack. This is a BGE forum. As such, politics, religion, football and rotomolded cooler debates have no place here in my opinion. If I see folks talking and arguing about such, I simply move on my friend.
